The sturdy frame made from 3×3 inch 11 gauge steel can be customized to fit your needs, space, and bank account. Choose from 4-post or 6-post bases, 80-inch or 93-inch rack heights, and four racks. Depth options range from 16″ to 41″. Next, add various attachments such as adjustable pull-up bars, J-cups, safeties, or dip bars, lat pulldown systems, mines, and more.
One feature that caught our tester’s attention was the laser-cut holes in the uprights. Not only do these allow for easy J-cup positioning during squats and bench presses, they are also compatible with many accessories from REP Fitness and the brand’s competitors. There are many choices when it comes to REPs, but the compatibility between brands makes your choices truly limitless. Testers also praised the PR-4000’s sturdiness, but also recommended bolting it down for even more stability (you can also purchase foot extensions if you don’t want to damage your floors) ).

The PRx Performance Profile rack’s space-saving design allows you to gain significant benefits without sacrificing too much living space.
Tester’s opinion
I understand that. Not everyone has the space to install a giant squat rack in the middle of their apartment, home gym, or even garage. The PRx Performance Profile Rack mounts to the wall and folds neatly to maximize floor space. When not in use, it takes up just 4 feet of wall space (about the width of a standard coat closet).
What testers liked about this folding rack was its high-quality design. The sturdy 11-gauge steel frame rivals the floor-standing models on this list and can withstand a whopping 1,000 pounds. When you pull the rack down (it moves smoothly thanks to hydraulic shocks) and place the posts on the floor, the weight is on the floor instead of the wall.
This model does not come with a bar, but you can add a standard pull-up bar or a kipping pull-up bar. Our testers recommended the latter for its versatility and height (as long as your home or garage has high enough ceilings). You can also purchase a wall-mounted flat or incline weight bench to completely fool your home squat rack.

ForceUSA MyRack Modular Power Rack
AccordionItemContainerButton
Strong Points
20 mounting options Freestanding and bolt-in options Built-in bar storage
Cons
The steel is thinner than our competitors. Accessories are made of inferior materials. J hook not included.
The customizable ForceUSA MyRack Modular Power Rack is available at a pocket-friendly price and allows users to build accessories to fit their training needs.
Tester’s opinion
Skimping on cost generally means you won’t make much of a difference when it comes to the functionality or safety of your squat rack. The ForceUSA MyRack Modular Power Rack is not. Testers claim it’s as durable as models twice the price and has a wealth of add-on features.
Few squat racks can be called “compact,” but the dimensions of this steel setup make it a solid choice if you have low ceiling heights and limited workout space. I found it to be stable and sturdy even without bolting (which is an option). In fact, this rack has one of the highest load capacities of all the racks on our list. If you’re worried about damaging your floor and don’t want to damage it, an easy way is to use the optional plate holder to make your floor even heavier.
It’s one of the most customizable budget racks around. Pay only for what you need because you can combine 20 different attachments to create a modular base rack, including pull-up bars, pull-up bars, safety spotter arms, dip handles, cable crossovers, and monolift attachments. Dust will accumulate. You can always add features as needed (or as cash flow allows).
